Police searching for suspect after man assaulted with a weapon at Toronto gas station
Toronto police say they are searching for a suspect after a man was allegedly assaulted with a weapon in an east-end Toronto gas station.
Officers were called to Greenwood and Danforth avenues at around 12:05 a.m. on Saturday.
According to police, a man in his 20s was inside a gas station store when he was assaulted by a woman he didn’t know.
The man fled the area and called police. He was subsequently taken to hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries believed to be caused by sharp object, police said.
Police released a suspect description Saturday evening. They said they are looking for a woman of around 30 years old, standing five-foot-nine and weighing around 165 pounds. She has short black hair and was last seen wearing a dark hoodie with a white Reebok logo, blue jeans and brown boots.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact investigators.
An hour earlier, a man was fatally shot down the street at Danforth and Woodbine avenues. Police have not linked the incidents so far.
